Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. A few weeks ago, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up on my testosterone levels. I am 70 years old, and I noticed that there is something wrong with my testicles. At my age, I wonder if this could still affect my survival and mood. Do you think this is due to the decline in physical function?Doctor's answer:
As one ages, physical conditions decline, and so does the function of the testes. This means that even in 70-year-old individuals, testicular function will also decline, leading to a reduction in the excretion of testosterone. This can have adverse effects on male function and overall physical condition, as well as emotional well-being. For this issue, medication can be used to supplement appropriately, but such medications are prescription drugs and must be used under the guidance of a doctor. For patients with urological conditions, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall physical health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
